Thank You for Making our Annual Fund Amazing!
|
|
|
Through your partnership, we were able to achieve our Annual Fund goal – and then some! – raising over $175,000!
These funds will directly impact our Embers community by supporting operating costs, student financial aid, the faculty/staff Christmas Fund, and so much more.
Your generosity allows our school to thrive, bolstered by the partnerships between parents, school, and educators: the true essence of Embers . Thank you for your wonderful gifts!

The Hunt Is On!
The competition has started between each grade to see who can sell the most raffle tickets for Extravaganza 2023! Our first competition will run now through Friday, February 3rd and the winning class will earn a campus-wide scavenger hunt. The prize basket at the end of the hunt will be a “sweet” way to celebrate all their hard work.
- Tickets are sold online, so you never have to worry about having a ticket stub with you. To purchase, simply visit our event website www.extravaganza23.givesmart.com and click on Buy Now!
- When tickets are purchased, buyers will input your family name. Tickets sold are credited to all students in the family.
- We encourage each family to sell 15 raffle tickets, but there is no limit! The more the merrier.
- Friends and family out of town? Simply forward them the link!
Raffle ticket sales are live:
